Impressions from the DET game
I did not get to watch it all; was streaming on a mobile device on wireless so what I did see was somewhat fuzzy.
However, at least one silver lining that I noticed during the game and then went back to look up stats… while defensive starters were in (through beginning of the 2nd quarter), our defense: -- Held the Detroit running game to 7 rushes for 28 yards or 4.0 ypc with 19 of those yards coming off of one play. Their other running plays were: 5 yards, 2 yards, 2 yards, 2 yards, 1 yard, -3 yards. -- Held Detroit to 6 of 12 passing for 84 yards allowing 1 TD, causing 1 sack and 1 INT. Of course, of their 6 completed passes, two were long (23 yards, 22 yard TD) and two were medium (15 yards, 14 yards) which is not good. Missing Hankins, Bostic, Morrison, Melvin, Morris and Geathers as starters on the defense. Overall, they played a pretty solid 20 minutes while getting zero help from their offense (In 4 series, the Colts offense managed a total of 31 yards with 3 3-and-outs series and 1 5-play series). So, hopefully pointing to a defense that is better than we have seen recently in Indy. Gotta find the silver lining SOMEWHERE.... Walk Worthy,
